Charles, using an American city like Chicago as an analogy to explain Hamas, Palestine, and Netanyahu to US citizens is brilliant.

I knew very little about the history of Palestine when the war started. I have since educated myself so I can better understand how Hamas was created. Because, like you said, Netanyahu helped create this terrorist organization. Trump has been trying to do the same thing here for the last decade with groups like the Proud Boys.
Thanks for such an outstanding explanation! I wish every American would read this.
If what Charles wrote squares with your newfound understanding of the situation then you are woefully misinformed. Netanyahu has definitely been a very bad (terrible, even) steward of the situation but Hamas isn't his creation and their actions can't be blamed on him. The explanation above magically absolves Hamas of their unspeakable, insane, barbarism and paints the IDF as evil when in fact they're simply trying to manage a giant insane asylum that's run by heavily armed death cultists. If America had to deal with something comparable, going by our history, the outcomes at least in terms of civilian death tolls would long since been an order of magnitude higher and most Americans would be cheering from the sidelines.
Explaining the origins of Hamas in no way absolves their actions. Their violence is not justifiable but possibly understandable. However, Netanyahu is far from innocent in this war. He is as evil as Hamas, or more so, in my opinion.
